RMS Speed Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate RMS Speed?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

V rms = \sqrt{\frac{3 \cdot [R] \cdot T g}{M molar}}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

V rms = \sqrt{\frac{3 \cdot [R] \cdot 45K}{44.01g/mol}}

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

V rms = \sqrt{\frac{3 \cdot 8.3145 \cdot 45K}{44.01g/mol}}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

V rms = \sqrt{\frac{3 \cdot 8.3145 \cdot 45K}{0.044kg/mol}}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

V rms = \sqrt{\frac{3 \cdot 8.3145 \cdot 45}{0.044}}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

V rms = 159.701241569226m/s

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

V rms = 159.7012m/s

How to Evaluate RMS Speed?

RMS Speed evaluator uses Root Mean Square Velocity = sqrt((3*[R]*Temperature of Gas)/Molar Mass) to evaluate the Root Mean Square Velocity, The RMS speed is the measure of the speed of particles in a gas, defined as the square root of the average velocity-squared of the molecules in a gas. ... The root-mean-square speed takes into account both molecular weight and temperature, two factors that directly affect the kinetic energy of a material. Root Mean Square Velocity is denoted by V_rms symbol.

How to evaluate RMS Speed using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for RMS Speed, enter Temperature of Gas (T_g) & Molar Mass (M_molar) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on RMS Speed

What is the formula to find RMS Speed?

The formula of RMS Speed is expressed as Root Mean Square Velocity = sqrt((3*[R]*Temperature of Gas)/Molar Mass). Here is an example- 159.7012 = sqrt((3*[R]*45)/0.04401).

How to calculate RMS Speed?

With Temperature of Gas (T_g) & Molar Mass (M_molar) we can find RMS Speed using the formula - Root Mean Square Velocity = sqrt((3*[R]*Temperature of Gas)/Molar Mass). This formula also uses Universal gas constant and Square Root (sqrt) function(s).

Can the RMS Speed be negative?

Yes, the RMS Speed, measured in Speed can be negative.

Which unit is used to measure RMS Speed?

RMS Speed is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which RMS Speed can be measured.
